I am angry with the following people and organizations:

David Lynch - Sir, you owe me the two hours of my life I spent watching 2/3 of Inland Empire. I waited for the plot, but the plot never came. Instead, there was nauseatingly shaky and dark digital footage of people wearing rabbit heads, Polish circus performers, senseless dialogue, and Laura Dern sitting on a floor looking confused. After I had given up, I checked Wikipedia to see if anyone else knew what the hell was going on. Quoth Wikipedia, Inland Empire is "a plotless collection of snippets that explore themes Lynch has been working on for years, including a Hollywood story about a young actress who gets a part in a film that might be cursed; a story about the smuggling of women from Eastern Europe; and an abstract story about a family of people with rabbit heads sitting around in a living room...". Good god.

Sears - or whoever at Sears is responsible for the automated message that has called my home no less than three times this week. It goes something like "crackle crackle...please stay on the line for a very important message from Sears of Canada..." followed by a phone ringing on their end, then some shitty hold-music when their operator doesn't answer, whereupon I hang up. Aargh.

Aaron Brophy
- of Chartattack.com, for writing this obnoxious piece of shit re: the new Radiohead album. I've seen this guy on tv before, and if I recall he was wearing a Radiohead t-shirt at the time, and extolling the virtues of The Strokes. Flame-baiting Radiohead fans + manufacturing backlash + acting all high-and-mighty despite writing for a magazine that routinely features Our Lady Peace and Simple Plan on its cover = you, here. Ass.

Dooley's - for their unbelievably bad/annoying "Find The Missing 8-Ball" ad, which is being run every commercial break during my precious Hockey Night In Canada.

So, how's your weekend?
